Will this chord handle SURGE watts to 10,000 watts ? I am not referring to rated watts of 7,500, but only very momentary SURGE watts of 10,000. Thanks.

I'm confident that the cord will handle that momentary surge, however, I would be more concerned about your power supply/generator being able to handle that surge.

I suggest you contact the manufacturer for your answer. Personally, I would only plug those units into a 15-20 amp dedicated wall socket with GFCI protection. I use this surge unit for my computer, monitor, external hard drives, wireless router etc. with excellent results.

I use it for a 7500 watt running and a 10500 watt surge generator and it works just fine. If you want to be especially safe check it after fifteen minutes of use, if the cord is hot discontinue. I'll bet it will be just fine.

ive owned this inverter and it is 1000 watts in one plug dude must have been on crack that day of the video. Only down side to it this inverter will not handle very much surge it will go up to about 1200 surge and beep the hole time but 1000 output it will do and hold it.

Let me try that again. I'm not sure how of the amount of voltage or amps specifically but I can tell you that I use it as the power cord on my Motorola wireless router and it works well enough for me working at home/laptop, my smart tv, and my son playing his PS3/4 all wirelessly. I have Cmcst for my internet provider but ultimately my router is giving us the access, right? Hopefully that can give you an idea of how much juice I'm getting out of it at least. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. I use it in a standard 110 watt wall socket that is on a 20amp breaker

After ur ?? I ran across a blog where a guy is powering a 350 watt car amp and a 12" mtx sub. "Im using a 250watt AT PC power supply that provides 10amps on the 12+v line. With this configuration I can easily power my amp and get great house shaking music now in my room."So rated at 30 amps continuous, u should have no problem. Is your input power fuse 30 amps or less? I would double check the maximum power requirements of my gear.This is not the quietest power supply, but u will quickly drown out any noise from this.

I HAVENT used mine.,it wont start my refridgator.,,surge power is 5seconds.,take at 10seconds to start.. if you need surge power,,cant recommend this.

Sorry, I did not try it in that application, I would look at their website to determine what the max wattage is to ensure you are not exceeding that

Mike,According to the company web site this switch is rated for 100 amps for continuous service and 500 amps for 10 second surges.Danny

If you add up the total wattage of the devices you will be plugging into the surge protector then that can be used as the number of joules you need. The formula isJoules = Watts x TimeSince surges are pretty quick if you figure Time = 1sec you are probably fine. Want to be conservative set T = 2 or 3The wattage is usually on the back of the device near the power cord.

A lot of cheap amplifiers are rated on peak output, not the amount of output it can sustain for periods of time greater than a few fractions of a second. Given that the amp undoubtedly has a fair amount of capacitance, it should be able to exceed the output of the power supply for short bursts (ie: a drum hit in a song). Since those bursts are short, and only a few times per second, it should work OK, as long as the average was a bit under the 24 watts the power supply can produce.

Hello Harold. I'm assuming you are referring to the maximum wattage this unit could draw at one time. If that is the case, in theory the unit could draw 2400 to 3400 surge watts. That is a totally dead battery with the 200a 12v start option.That is only a surge estimate, but lets say you are charging a 12 volt battery at 30 amps, then you are looking at 360 watts. Volts X Amps = Watts This is basically a dc power supply and the 31a intermittent is worse case scenario. If the 31amp max is met then the total wattage would be 110 X 31 = 3410.Hope this helps.

I honestly don't know. I haven't had to do it. This thing has been great so far. It seems to have stabilized some of the surges I used to get. I had a Tripp Lite at one point and it was cutting out power by itself - basically doing the exact opposite of what I wanted it to do. I have no regrets so far with this purchase.

I plugged it into an outdoor outlet with a 45 watt harbor freight panel set. It says it can handle up to 250 watts, so I had room to spare. I actually plugged it into a kill-a-watt meter so I could see how much it was putting in. Seems I remember it only putting in 27 watts in full sunlight. It worked fine for about a week and then it stopped altogether. There was no user-serviceable fuse to replace. I had to insist on a full refund as they wanted to send a replacement. I would steer away from this particular one. Try to find one with at least a year's warranty on it if you can.

The product description on the Aeotec website mentions surge /over current protection to the following levels: Max. Joules: 650Max. Surge Current: 6000V/3000A. I dont see a problem with plugging in an additional surge protected strip.

I don't recommend exceeding the specified maximum amperage rating of the protector. You will damage the surge protector.
